Una, tre, mille sante? Nata in Italia, in Francia o in Turchia? In fondo non importa. La storia narrata in questo libro è un viaggio attraverso l'Italia sulle tracce di Santa Venera, conosciuta anche come Veneranda o Parasceve, una figura che ha saputo attraversare quasi duemila anni di storia unendo Oriente e Occidente.
Dalle prime testimonianze nelle catacombe romane, il culto si è diffuso come un fiume che si dirama in mille rivoli: le processioni barocche di Acireale con il busto argenteo portato in trionfo, le sobrie celebrazioni lombarde di Mortara, le icone bizantine delle comunità arbëreshë. Ogni luogo racconta una storia diversa, eppure la stessa: quella di una devozione capace di parlare lingue diverse mantenendo la stessa essenza.
Ma questa non è solo una storia di arte e tradizione. È anche il racconto di una geografia perduta chiese scomparse, monasteri in rovina, toponimi che come semi dormienti conservano la memoria di antiche fedi. Un patrimonio che rischia di dissolversi se non sapremo riconoscerne il valore.
Dopo un'analisi delle diverse tradizioni iconografiche tra Oriente e Occidente e uno sguardo d'insieme sull'Europa ortodossa, il lavoro offre una ricognizione dei luoghi di culto e dell'arte sacra dedicata alla santa. Contribuisce così a documentare come una figura considerata minore in Occidente, ma veneratissima in Oriente, abbia tessuto fili invisibili tra comunità lontane, creando ponti dove la storia aveva scavato fossati.
Un libro che è insieme ricerca storica e invito alla scoperta, mappa devozionale e riflessione sul senso del sacro nel mondo contemporaneo. Conoscere Santa Venera significa incontrare un pezzo della nostra identità più profonda, quella che ancora oggi continua silenziosamente a unire luoghi e comunità lontane.
